Enabling Standard User Activation
By default, activation requires administrative privileges. However, in scenarios where users do not have local administrator access and autoactivation cannot be completed during the initial 30-day grace period, customers may elect to make these operations available to standard users. A registry entry, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SL\UserOperations (REG_DWORD), can be set to 1 to enable standard users to install product keys, activate, and rearm computers. With this registry setting enabled, all product key installation, activation, and rearm requests must be done using the built-in Slmgr.vbs script.

Resetting the Activation Grace Period
• Sysprep /generalize. Using the Sysprep command-line image preparation tool with the /generalize option resets the grace period for activation, providing an additional 30 days to activate the system. Because this is Sysprep, team members will also be resetting the system state, creating a clean slate as they would when imaging the computer.
• Slmgr.vbs –rearm. A computer can be returned to its initial activation state for the current license by using the Slmgr.vbs script with the -rearm option. This option resets the computer’s activation timer and reinitializes some activation parameters, including a KMS client’s unique machine ID (also known as client machine ID, or CMID). The number of times this can be repeated is limited and depends on how many times sysprep /generalize has been run to create the distribution media. The maximum number of rearms possible from shipped media is three.
Note Using -rearm requires administrator privilege.
